DISPLAY-CARD.

Speoifioation of Letters Patent.

Application me February 20, 1918. Serial R o. 218,888.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CATHERINE MARZAHL, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe `and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display- Cards, of which the following is a specfication.

The present invention relates to display cards and more particularly to a card adapted to display articles which have bar pins thereon for the attachment to thewearing apparel of an individual, such as breast pins, badges, and the like, an object of this invention bein to provide means on the card which will; ermit the bar pin to be connected to the cardP and removed therefrom without manipulating the pin, such means being adapted to connect with any bar pin below a certain length.

To this and other ends, the invention consists of certain parts and combinations of parts all of which will be hereinafter described, the novel features being pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings:--

Figure 1 is a pers ective view of `the display card in norma position without any articles secured thereto;

Fig. 2 shows in perspective the manner of bending the card for the introduction or removal of an article;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view, showin articles with bar pins of difi'erent lengt s secured to the card; and

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4, Fig. 3.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates a card made of card board or any other suitable flexible material. This card is provided with one or more cuts or slits`2 of zigzag form. Each of these slits forms two series of similarly shaped tongues 3 on opposite sides of said slit, the tongues tween the tongues on the other side. Preferably the slit is so formed that the shape of each tongue is that of a wedge, the base o f the tongue being preferably less than the height. Each slit preferably extends transversely of the card, and terminates close to but in spaced relation to the sides of the card. With this arrangement, if the card be bent in the manner shown in Fig.'2, the two series of tongues will separate as shown in the figure, and a bar pin may be introduced between the two series, so that, when the card is again flattened, the tongues will pass over the bar pin, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Owing to the shape of the tongues it is possible to secure a bar pin of short length, as well as one which is substantially the length of the cut or slit.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A card for displaying bar pin articles comprising a Sheet, having a zigzag cut forming two series of similarly shaped tongues on opposite sides of the cut the tongues on one side of the cut projectln between the tongues on the other side, an the sheet being bendable at the opposite ends of the cut so as to separate the two series of tongues for the introduction or removal of the pin of the article.
